How to edit a clip in a multicam sequence (CS6)?

I am using Premiere CS6 on Mac, I have a multicam sequence set up (2 cam).
I just want to color correct cam 2 to match cam 1 and I cannot figure it out. Everything I try applies the correction to the entire sequence.
If someone can provide exact steps to apply color correction to one clip in the sequence only (it's just brightness/contract, nothing complicated), so that it's reflected in the multicam sequence I'd be grateful. Even a link to a tutorial would be good as I cannot seem to find it online (almost everything points to CC which I don't use and is totally different than CS6).
Please help!

Ok, I finally figured it out, no thanks to Adobe's crap "Help" system, which is missing MANY steps...
1. Right-click the Multi-Camera Source Sequence in the Project tab (NOT the multicam sequence you're editing). It's the one with the green/blue lines perfectly lined up.
2. Choose Open in Timeline.
3. In the Timeline, make the edits you want to the clip you want (in this case, Brightness/Contrast on clip 2)
4. Go to Window > Multi-Camera Monitor
5. You'll see your source clips stacked in the window, and you can fine tune from here.
6. Click on the Multi-Camera Sequence you're editing in the Timeline, and the Monitor should update to reflect your changes.
You can toggle back and forth between these sequences in the timeline, adjusting as you need.
This was incredibly easy for me to document, I really fail to understand why the Help file couldn't be bothered. It's completely missing things like what the difference is between the source multicam sequence and the program multicam sequence, how to edit a clip in your multicam sequence, and how the multicam monitor works. Really pisspoor documentation, but at this point, I don't expect anything else from Adobe.

How to edit only audio tracks in multicam sequences?

How can I cut only the audio track in a multicam sequence? I need it like in Final Cut Pro: Cut both video and audio, cut only video track x while audio track y remains untouched, cut only audio track x while video track y remains untouched. I can't find any solution. I use Premiere Pro CS6. Please don't recommend CC!

Well, that's another nasty problem with multicam editing in PP. It cuts only the video but not both. The audio track is always that of the first selected clip (of that in the first video track) when I create a multicam sequence. I have manually to open it in the timeline, enable or disable certain audio tracks, go back to the sequence and cut. But when I have to switch the audio for only some camera angles it is impossible, because I can only change the audio track for the whole sequence. Or do I miss something? Maybe it is another cool "design feature"?

How do you add additional video clips to a multicamera sequence after aligning multiple cameras?

We shoot extended videos (1-2 hours in length) all the training videos I've seen for CC walk you though aligning the inital cuts and then editing, but they don't say how to add the rest of the clips from that session to each video track. Any tips?

Thanks Mark - That worked. By the way, in case there are any other rookies out there trying to create a multicam sequence like this, make sure that you 1) create the MultiCam Source Sequence and then 2) right click on the Multicam sequence icon in the project window and then 3) choose open in timeline.
Once the project is open, verify that the camera views are sync'd and then drag the follow on video clips to the end of the appropriate video track. Once that is done, right click on the Multicam icon again and choose New Sequence from clip and your complete project will be ready to edit.
Thanks Mark for the quick response.

How do I have sliding in graphics for me video?
After xx seconds on my video, I wanted a thin strip to slide accross the bottom of the video half way
Then I wanted 4 graphics to slide onto this white line
How do I do this?
Thanks
Omar

For the first question: place one video on top of the other, as a connected clip. Change the size and position as you wish.
You have many questions that suggest you are very unfamiliar with the application. I think you'd be well served by going through a few online tutorials. All the things you ask are easy and fun to do in FCP X. It is best to learn by seeing it done. Look at rippletraining.com, izzyvideo.com, and others. I am sure you'll find that it will be time well spent.

How to edit movie clip in fla library?

I'm attempting to edit some fla files that have embedded
movie clips. I can't figure out how to edit the movie clip files in
the library. I tried exporting the file to SWC file but can't edit
that.
Can anyone tell me how this is done? Do I need seperate
source fla files that maybe I don't have for the movie clip files?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. That's what I would normally do but I
think the original programmers of this site did every thing they
possibly could to make it difficult for a non-expert to edit. I've
edited many flash sites but this one is ridiculous.
I just can't find all the images that make up the movie clip
to edit. I've looked through every layer and double clicked on
everything. I've ran out of ideas.
If anyone wants a challenge I'd be happy to send you the .fla
file just to see what I'm talking about. You can't edit
anything.

Making sub-clips in a multicam sequence

Hi,
I used two cameras conducting while conducting an interview, and I'd like to be able to make sub-clips of the parts I want to use of my multicam sequence. Is that possible?
Warm regards,
Bob Fischer

I have a similar issue. I have a two camera shoot that I have synched up. I haven't done the multicam edit yet.
It is of a museum exhibit opening gala. So, there is a linear timeline of singers, speakers, singers, speakers.
< Clip One --singers -- singers -- speaker -- speaker -- speaker -- singers -- singers -->
< Clip Two --singers -- singers -- speaker -- speaker -- speaker -- singers -- singers -->
What I need to do is to take the footage - 35 Minutes - and trim it down to 3 minutes. What I need to do is show singers doing one song (multicam) then fade out the audio, bring up b-roll footage and audio, bring back in singers, fade out singers and bring in speakers (singers as backround audio while speaker speaks) and - this important - speakers are part of the two clips that make up the entire multicam sequence.
So, I could multicam everything first and then use that footage as my basis for cutting, adding b-roll and cutting entire speeches, songs, etc.
Or, I could set markers in the original multiclip synched sequence marking the beginnings of each "event" I could use the razor tool and start hacking it up and sliding it around. Then resynch all cut clips from the two sequences and multicam from there.
Is this clear at all?
Thanks.

How to preserve multiple mono audio in Multicam sequence?

I'm a new FCP7 -> Premiere convert and seem to be unable to preserve true multiple mono audio in a multicam source sequence.
I have 3 video clips, each with 2 mono audio channels, interpreted correctly as multiple mono (showing as "2 Mon" in Project panel).
When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips, Premiere Pro Cs6 is creating a sequence with a Master audio track that is stereo. I cannot find a way to converting the stereo Master audio track to multiple mono audio track after the sequence is automatically created. When I look in "Sequence Settings" of the multi-cam sequence, there is no "Tracks" tab that is used to set this up in a new sequence. I have also tried switching all the preferences/audio settings to Mono with no luck.
Note: This problem is NOT related to enabling/disabling the additional audio tracks in the multicam sequence, I understand that only track 1 of a multi-cam sequence is enabled by default.
Thanks,
Robert

When I "create multi-camera source sequence" in project panel using the 3 clips
Don't do that. Do things "old school". Meaning you manually create an "Original" sequence for the 3 clips, add them in and sync them up. You then manually create a second "Multicam" sequence and nest the "Original" into that. Right click and Enable Multicam.
Doing it that way, you'll have the option to specify what type of audio tracks you want for each sequence.

How to edit multiple clips in AE for a project in PPro?

I have a project in PPro already laid out. Now, I need to remove grain (denoise) and stabalize the shaky footage for almost every clip in the movie (there are about 13 clips). Is there an efficient way for me to perfect each of these clips in AE and render them out and overright the old video files with the new, perfect video files? Dynamic link does not seem to do the job.
Any help is awesome. Thanks!

We've been over this before. You have two choices. Open up the clips you want to work on in AE and render them to your production codec, or use Dynamic Link. If the show is shot and cut exactly the way you want it to look, then dynamic link is the easiest way to go. If that's not the case, then working on individual clips in AE and replacing the footage later is the best option. There's no easy way to replace the clips unless you process the entire shot, render to the same name, then replace the original file with the fixed one.

Colour Correcting lots of clips in a Multicam Sequence

I have a problem with Premier CS6,
I have a timeline with a Multicam camera sequence, 2 camera's only and i want to reveal a camera in a sequence like in FCP7 so that i can apply a color correction to only 1 of the cameras, i am aware of selecting the clips by holding down the shift key and copying the attributes to the clips but this isn't convenient when you have hundreds of clips because 1 maybe missed and it would take forever, i have watch loads of videos on the web but i cant find the answer,

I've done this for taped classes using two cameras. All shot in a class room with unchanging lighting, so a single color correction works for two hours of video capture. Of course each camera needed separate and different color corrections (I applied just a luma curve and three way color corrector effects to each video feed, keeping it simple).
What I ended up doing was color correcting on the source sequence in PPro. Each camera feed corrected separately, and just a handful of clips, so easy to copy the color correction to them. I then nested this source sequence into a multi-cam edit sequence where I did the slice-'n-dice camera switching that is multi-camera editing.
The color correction done at the source sequence carries through to subsequent nested sequences. So the mulit-cam edit sequence gets the color corrections. No matter how many cuts you make going back and forth between cameras, the color correction is always true. If you then nest the multi-cam edit sequence into a target sequence (I use target sequences to edit the multi-cam edit into trailers, portions of the classes for short web videos, full class videos for DVD, etc.), the color corrections flow down to them also.
Sorta stands the conventional workflow (color correction last) on it's head. But it works well and seems to be almost fool proof (at least for this fool). Now of course this only works if you need a single color correction applied to a huge long video capture that you'll subsequently slice-'n-dice in a multi-cam edit sequence. But if this is what you need, this might be a method worth considering. Clearly, YMMV.

Color correction problem between original sequence and multicam sequence... Please help

I used three camcorders to record a youth dance recital. I created an orginal sequence for the three camcorders and another sequence using the multicam feature to edit the dances. After I finished editing, I went back to the original sequence to make some color correction and brightness adjustments using the Fast Color Correction controls. After that, I sent everything to Encore to create a DVD. When I watched the DVD, I noticed some of my color correction settings were still off, so I went back to the orginal sequence to make some changes. Unfortunately, the multicam sequence would not read the new settings. After a few unsuccessful attempts to get the clip from the multicam sequence to read the clip from the original sequence, I decided to start over by clearing the Fast Color Correction controls from the clip. The multicam sequence then adjusted back matching the original sequence. However, when I started a new Fast Color Correction control in the original sequence, the multicam sequence would not take the new settings. How to I get the mulitcam sequence to read the orginal sequence?

Thank Jim for replying:
I am stumped on this one. I did a few radical tweeks and it did not take. For example, I made one clip in the original sequence go completely dark. However, the clip in the mulicam sequence did not change.
I even deleted the render files and the work area render files and started over with making changes. Nothing. Any change I make on the original sequence will no longer adjust in the multicam sequence.
Any last words of advice before I delete the entire multicam sequence and start over? Thanks.

How do I replace the proxy files in my edited multicam sequence?

I have edited the sequence with a proxy MULTICAM clip. Now I want to replace the proxies with the hi-rez media. I can replace footage in the individual A-B cam clips but how do I replace the footage in the multicam clip so it automatically updates in the edited sequence?
Thank you,
Patrice

you can cmd/ctrl double click the multicam sequence to open it, then do your offline/relink. can also open the multicam sequence from the bin, right click and choose open in timeline. if the file names and extensions are the same you could also try the old folder swap method.

How can I make a synced audio track match the length of selected clips in a multicam seq?

I have a continuous multicam sequence of about 13 minutes containing a synced master audio track recorded from seperate microphones. I want to rearrange scenes from it into my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the entire length of audio gets pasted into the new sequence. I want to trim the audio to match just the clips I've selected but not lose sync. Is there a way to do this or is nesting not the way to chop up a sequence and rearrange the scenes in it?
Thanks.
Mike

Me too!!! I have a multicam sequence from 2 cameras with the audio staying on camera 1. I also have a seperate, continuous audio track recorded from microphones which I have synced to the timeline. I'm trying to select a group of sequential clips of different camera angles from the timeline to create scenes which I can insert into a final sequence but in a different order from how they are on the timeline. Let's say I want to take a series of clips that start at 3:30 on the timeline and go until 4:30 on the timeline. It will contain several cuts between the different cameras and I want to use that section as the first scene of my new sequence. If I select all of the clips in that time period and nest them into a new sequence, I only get the audio from camera 1 on the new TL. If I try window selecting those clips to include the continuous audio track, I get a new TL with 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the desired audio, then the video clips, and then the rest of the audio making a 13 minute TL. I just learned, after searching around, about marking in and out points on my multicam seq. and using the trick of "LIFTing" and then "UNDOing" to keep my multiseq intact, and then pasting into a new sequence. That works, but I'm only getting the audio track from off the camera. It won't select and lift the section of the other audio track that I want. I'm rushed for time so that's the way I've ended up finishing the video for now. The camera audio is just going to have to do although the mic recording is much better. The more I try to explain this the more confused I get and I'm sure everybody reading it does too. Any ideas? Thanks!

How can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

how can I edit multiple clips with different frame rates on the same timeline

You do not want to edit material from different frame rates on one timeline. You CAN do this, but it is a very bad idea - and this is why.
Once you establish the sequence frame rate - lets say it is PAL material at 25fps, any material that you drop into the sequence other than 25 fps will have to be changed to play at 25 fps. If the material you add is NTSC (29.97), FCP will DROP 5 frames per sec to bring the frame rate down to 25 fps. Which 5 get thrown away? Every 6th one. This yields a funky cadence that becomes even more complex as as there are also interlaced fields (DV/NTSC is an interlaced format). Oh, and by the way, the image sizes are different as well. DV/PAL has 576 lines of resolution and DV/NTSC has 480. FCP has to scale up the NTSC to fit the PAL frame.
You do not want FCP adjusting these things on the fly. You want to do a thoughtful (and time consuming) conversion so that you end up with all your material in one format with the best possible image from the conversion process. Compressor can do an adequate job with Frame Controls turned on. The Natress Standards Conversion FCP plugin is another way to go. A third option is to find a post house that can do the conversion for you using a hardware based process.
The good news is, once everything is in the same format, editing it will be painless and the output process very quick.
Whatever frame rate/ image size you select, I'd suggest using ProRes for the codec. It is 4:2:2 color and will withstand color correction and composting with much more grace than any variant of DV based codecs.
Have fun.

How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

Hello
How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it. Any advice appreciated.
Barra

Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!
